Let the school know you're thinking of applying — they can share their prerequisites and help you through the process.
It's best to ask — circumstances can change at any time.
Three age-appropriate boarding houses accommodate MAS Songshan Lake students, cared for by a Houseparent who lives on site alongside resident Tutors, promoting a family atmosphere. Boarding students follow the same school day pattern; after their evening meal they have structured homework time overseen by a staff member on duty, followed by social time and bedtime. A fully staffed medical centre supports boarders, and at weekends they may participate in a range of activities or undertake independent study.
All MAS students wear the school uniform on school days, on school buses, on school property and on school trips; exceptions may be allowed in special circumstances. Full dress is required from October to April and during the rally.
Boarding includes meals; boarders have evening meals as part of the daily routine.
There are three age-appropriate boarding houses for MAS Songshan Lake students.
Merchiston Academy Songshan Lake (MAS) opened in September 2021 and is presented on the school website as an international campus located in Songshan Lake Park, adjacent to Huawei's European Village; the site states the campus has about 35,000 m² of floor area and convenient transport links. MAS is described as offering courses within IGCSE and GCE A-level pathways and cooperating with Pearson/Edexcel and BTEC vocational provision for older students. The website also describes an on-site boarding provision and a broad co-curricular programme (sports, arts and STEM-related CCAs are listed). The school site does not publish a full fee schedule, an overall minimum/maximum age range for all entry points, typical class-size figures for MAS, or a total current pupil number; I can fetch the campus latitude/longitude from Google Maps if you'd like.
